Publisher's Description

▼▲

In 1997 scholar and teacher R. C. Sproul was called to the pulpit of St. Andrews Chapel in Sanford, Florida. The published collections of his sermons, the St. Andrews Expositional Commentary Series, are the result of years of careful preparation and weekly, Bible-centered preaching.

Readers will follow Sproul as he preaches through the book of Acts. The account of the gospel spreading to the Gentiles is the story of the roots of our faith. By Gods grace and the labor of Paul and the apostles, salvation has spread to all the nations. Balancing broad and narrow perspectives of each passage, Sproul explores important theological terms and themes, offers perspective from his own wisdom and experience, and engages in practical application.

Delivered from a pastors heart for his congregation, readers will find Acts readable, applicable, appropriately paced, and thoroughly Bible-centered. Here is an opportunity to sit at the feet of an eminent theologian and teacher, encountering the Word of God.

I got this book because I was preaching through parts of Acts. It was an invaluable resource to me during that time. Dr Sproul's sermon notes from St. Andrews helped me gain insight and a new clarity of the scriptures. If you want to learn more about this great book of the Bible and especially if you are teaching or preaching through it, then I encourage you to purchase this resource from one of the greatest theologians of our time.

I received this commentary for free from Crossway Publishing Co. as a review copy (this did not influence my review of this book and I was not required to give a good review). I have always enjoyed using commentaries as I have studied Scripture, both in school and for sermon preparation. When I received RC Sproul's expositional commentary on Acts I was expecting a commentary that resembled most of the commentaries on the market. I was pleasantly surprised when I started working my way through this commentary. It is a collection of 62 expositional sermons on the book of Acts. It covers the entire book of Acts in sermon form. I will not re-preach these sermons, but I did find these sermons very eye opening and rich with sermon illustrations and insights into the passages themselves. Sproul identified this as a "big picture" commentary. He does a give a good "big picture" view of Acts. I highly recommend this commentary to any student of the Bible.
